A loft conversion in a landmark building in downtown a Fort Lauderdale, FL needed to make a hip statement for their young urban professional demographic, so my team at S/A came up with the 'Anti-Condo' campaign. We started by designing the identity based on a badge we found from researching the original, 80 year-old history of the building. We then engaged in full-blown guerrilla tactics that included a sidewalk picketing demonstration, condo commando models wearing blue wigs and wielding semi-automatic weapons, taxicab toppers, beer coasters strategically positioned at nearby bars, microsites – any 'anti' ploy to help reinforce our campaign. The work was so effective, sales records were even set in a slow economy. Creative team included Chris Pastir, Manny Prieres and Fred Adkins.
In the last decade, my art/creative direction work has been featured in various places such as
People, USA Today, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, South Florida Business Journal, The Miami Herald, Print, Communication Arts, The One Show, The Clios, The Andys, as well as several bathroom stalls in biker bars throughout South Florida. • I have lived in ten different states and The Sunshine State is my favorite. I'm an avid art collector and cyclist. I've taught at the Miami Ad School for 6 years and have a highly impractical attachment to old
motorcycles. I live in Boca Raton, FL.
